Description
- The invention relates to a memory device fabricating technology and in particular to a method for fabricating a bit line of a memory device.
- A dynamic random access memory (DRAM) is a common semiconductor memory device widely employed in electronic products. In order to increase the density of the memory devices and improve performance thereof, the size of memory devices must be reduced. The fabrication of conductive plugs connected to the bit lines and disposed between the word lines, however, becomes more difficult as memory device geometries continue to decrease in size. Therefore, many self-aligned processes have been developed for bit line contact fabrication, which are useful for the fabrication of conductive plugs.
- Such a self-aligned bit line contact is fabricated by a conventional damascene process using a polysilicon hard mask. Typically, the damascene process includes a step of forming a damascene opening, such as via hole, trench, or combination thereof, in a dielectric layer. A metal barrier layer and a metal layer are successively formed on the dielectric layer and fill the damascene opening. The excess metal layer and metal barrier layer are successively removed by polishing.
- Metal polycide, however, is formed between the metal barrier layer and the polysilicon hard mask during fabrication of the bit line contact (CB) of the memory device. The metal polycide is formed due to the existence of the polysilicon hard mask, and is very difficult to remove by subsequent polishing, such as chemical mechanical polishing (CMP), thus the metal polycide is called polysilicon residue. The polysilicon residue extends radially along the periphery of the contact to bit line, causing bit line leakage. If polysilicon residue extends to the neighboring bit line, a short circuit between the bit lines may occur, resulting in device failure.
- A damascene process and a method for fabricating a bit line of a memory device are provided. An embodiment of a damascene process comprises providing a substrate covered by a dielectric layer. A polysilicon masking layer is formed on the dielectric layer, comprising an opening to expose the underlying dielectric layer. The exposed dielectric layer is etched to form a damascene opening therein and a portion of the polysilicon masking layer remains on the dielectric layer. The damascene opening is filled with a metal layer. The remaining polysilicon masking layer is completely transformed into a metal polycide layer. The metal polycide layer is then removed.
- An embodiment of a method for fabricating a bit line of a memory device comprises providing a substrate comprising a memory array region and at least two gate structures therein. A dielectric layer is formed on the substrate and the gate structures. A polysilicon masking layer is formed on the dielectric layer, comprising an opening above the dielectric layer between the gate structures. The dielectric layer under the opening is etched to form a bit line contact therein, and a portion of the polysilicon masking layer remains on the dielectric layer. The bit line contact is filled with a tungsten layer. A titanium layer is formed on the remaining polysilicon masking layer and the tungsten layer, having a thickness greater than the remaining polysilicon masking layer. The substrate is annealed to completely transform the remaining polysilicon masking layer into a titanium polycide layer. The titanium polycide layer is removed by an etching solution comprising hydrofluoric acid.
- The invention will become more fully understood from the detailed description given hereinbelow and the accompanying drawings, given by way of illustration only and thus not intended to be limitative of the invention.

FIGS. 1A to 1G are cross-sections of an embodiment of a damascene process for fabricating a bit line. -
FIGS. 1A and 1G illustrate an exemplary embodiment of a damascene process for fabricating bit line for a memory device, such as DRAM. InFIG. 1A , asubstrate 100, such as a silicon wafer, is provided. Thesubstrate 100 may contain semiconductor devices, such as MOS transistors and capacitors, used in the memory devices. Here, in order to simplify the diagram, only a flat substrate is depicted. Thesubstrate 100 comprises amemory array region 10. At least twogate structures 102 are formed on thesubstrate 100 of thememory array region 10. Typically, thegate structure 102 may comprise a gatedielectric layer 101, agate electrode 103, acap layer 105 and agate spacer 107. The gatedielectric layer 101 may comprise silicon oxide formed by thermal oxidation. Thegate electrode 103 may comprise a single polysilicon layer or a multiple layer comprising a polysilicon layer and an overlying metal polycide layer. Thecap layer 105 and thegate spacer 107 may comprise silicon nitride. - Next, a
liner 104, such as a silicon nitride layer, may optionally line the surfaces of thegate structures 102 and thesubstrate 100. A dielectric layer (not shown), such as a boro-phospho-silicate glass (BPSG) layer formed by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), is formed on theliner 104 and fills the gaps between thegate structures 102. Next, an etch back process, such as chemical mechanical polishing (CMP), is performed on the dielectric layer using theliner 104 as a stop layer, to leave a portion of thedielectric layer 106 between thegate structures 102. Anotherdielectric layer 108, such as an oxide layer formed by tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) using CVD technology. Here, thedielectric layers layer 110. In some embodiments, theILD layer 110 may comprise a single layer comprise BPSG. - A
polysilicon layer 112 is formed on theILD layer 110 and a photoresist layer (not shown) is subsequently applied thereon. In this embodiment, thepolysilicon layer 112 has a thickness of about 750 Å to 950 Å and serves as a masking layer (hard mask). The photoresist layer is patterned by conventional lithography to form aphotoresist pattern layer 114 with at least one opening 114 a exposing thepolysilicon masking layer 112, in which theopening 114 a is above thedielectric layer 110 between thegate structures 102 in thememory region 10. - The
opening 114 a is transferred into thepolysilicon masking layer 112 using thephotoresist pattern layer 114 as an etch mask. Next, theILD layer 110 and theliner 104 under the opening in thepolysilicon masking layer 112 are successively etched to form acontact 110 a, exposing thesubstrate 100. Thephotoresist pattern layer 114 is then removed, as shown inFIG. 1B . - Another photoresist pattern layer (not shown) is formed on the
polysilicon masking layer 112 by conventional lithography, which comprises an opening wider than thecontact 110 a for definition of a bit line. Next, thepolysilicon masking layer 112 is etched to transfer the wider opening thereinto. After removal of the photoresist pattern layer, thedielectric layer 108 is etched using thepolysilicon masking layer 112 as an etch mask, to form abit line contact 110 b therein, and a portion of thepolysilicon masking layer 113 remains on thedielectric layer 108, as shown inFIG. 1C . - In
FIG. 1D , ametal barrier layer 116 is conformally formed on the remainingpolysilicon masking layer 113 and the sidewall and bottom of thebit line contact 110 b. Themetal barrier layer 116 may comprise titanium, tantalum, titanium nitride, tantalum nitride, Ti—W alloy, tungsten nitrides or combination thereof. In this embodiment, themetal barrier layer 116 is preferably a composite layer of a titanium layer and an overlying titanium nitride layer. Ametal layer 118, such as a tungsten layer is subsequently formed on themetal barrier layer 116 by CVD and fills thebit line contact 110 b. Since the titanium-containingbarrier layer 116 contacts the remainingpolysilicon masking layer 113, a titanium polycide layer (not shown) is formed therebetween. - In
FIG. 1E , theexcess metal layer 118 andmetal barrier layer 116 on theILD layer 110 may be removed by CMP using the remainingpolysilicon masking layer 113 as a stop layer, thus, abit line 119 with a conductive plug is formed by theleft metal layer 118 a andmetal barrier layer 116 a in thebit line contact 110 b. The titanium polycide layer (polysilicon residue) on the remainingpolysilicon masking layer 113, however, is difficult to completely remove by CMP, easily resulting in bit line leakage. If the polysilicon residue extends across the neighboring bit line, a short circuit between bit lines may occur, causing the memory device to fail. In order to solve such problems, in this embodiment, ametal layer 120, such as titanium, tantalum, cobalt, or nickel, is formed on the remainingpolysilicon masking layer 113 and thebit line 119 by conventional deposition, for example, PVD, after thebit line 119 formed. Annealing 122 is performed on thesubstrate 100 shown inFIG. 1E , thereby the remainingpolysilicon masking layer 113 under themetal layer 120 is completely transformed into ametal polycide layer 123, such as titanium polycide, as shown inFIG. 1F . Theannealing 122 is performed at a temperature above 300° C. Thenonreacted metal layer 120 a remains on themetal polycide layer 123 and thebit line 119, as shown inFIG. 1F . In this embodiment, themetal layer 120 may be thicker than the remainingpolysilicon masking layer 113 in order to completely transform the remainingpolysilicon masking layer 113 into themetal polycide layer 123. For example, themetal layer 120 is about two to three times the thickness of the remainingpolysilicon masking layer 113. - As shown in
FIG. 1G , the remainingmetal layer 120 a and the underlyingmetal polycide layer 123 are completely removed to expose the surfaces of thebit line 119 and theILD layer 110. In this embodiment, the remainingmetal layer 120 a and the underlyingmetal polycide layer 123 are removed by wet etching 124 (as shown inFIG. 1F ). Such awet etching 124 utilizes an etching solution comprising sulfuric acid (H2SO4), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and hydrofluoric acid (HF), in which the concentration of sulfuric acid in the etching solution is in a range of 6% to 26% and that of hydrofluoric acid in the etching solution about 8 ppm. - According to the invention, since the polysilicon hard mask has been completely transformed into the metal polycide layer and removed by wet etching, there is no polysilicon residue to induce electrical connection between bit lines. Accordingly, bit line leakage or a short circuit between bit lines can be improved, thereby increasing memory device reliability.
- While the invention has been described by way of example and in terms of preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited thereto. To the contrary, it is intended to cover various modifications and similar arrangements (as would be apparent to those skilled in the art). Therefore, the scope of the appended claims should be accorded the broadest interpretation to encompass all such modifications and similar arrangements.
